11/30: S: Front squat (135 max). WOD: 3 RFT of 400m sprint, 25x hollow sit ups, 50x step lunges.

This is us working up to a max front squat lift. We do this in increments of 5x at 70%, 75%, and 80% weight, then 4x at 85%, 3x at 90%, and finally 2x at 95% weight. Going by what we figured max as, 107lb, lifts should be 75, 80, 86, 91, 96, 102. But weight increments don’t allow, and the final I was off bc I was running out of time and suck at math. I did: 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 135. So…. New max I guess since I did both lifts in that final round at, supposedly, 95%. I’ll ask Matt next time I see him for this exercise about it.

WOD: 3 rounds for time of 
  • 400m sprint
  • 25x hollow sit ups
  • 50x step lunges. (18 minute timer?)


Actual: 2 full rounds, plus 1 200m sprint. Walked in with 2 or 3 seconds to spare.


Something I noticed, sit ups were easier. As in, I did more before having to rest than previously. They certainly aren’t EASY, but definitely easier. That’s a noticeable win.
